I thought both hosts were fluffybunnies when they kept probing Graham about Foran joining the dogs and how it would improve them.
The bloke clearly can't say anything coz nothing has been signed (and he may not even know), and did his best to dance around the issue, but they wouldn't let up.As far as being shocked about coke use - good acting lads.

@Sneakdefreak Not a surprise really. A shame though. Management have to pull their fingers out and get someone in. I'm still upset that Scurrah never went after Luke Lewis when he wanted out of Cronulla!!!

Kidwell: Bromwich, Proctor could be back for World Cup
Coach David Kidwell believes Jesse Bromwich and Kevin Proctor will be back in the Kiwis jersey for the World Cup. New Zealand Rugby League will meet with K
Kidwell's gone a little bit soft of them now. "Clearly made a bad decision, "Out of character", "Very remorseful".
I reckon he should have taken another tack and hung them out to dry.
"Playing for the Kiwis is an honour". "They have completely failed to respect that". "Their efforts in the match lacked guts". "We can't afford to have such totally unprofessional, brainless and pea-hearted players representing New Zealand".
Notes from Mike Hesson - if people don't have the right attitude then you cut them.

Penrith sorry

Charlie Gubb is gone at the Warriors. Told to look elsewhere as the Warriors clear cap space for something.
-
That is good news Sneak - Gubb always looked keen but has been ineffective.

He can't be worth much of the cap could he?
Bah, maybe your boy Graham is coming ....

@Nepia see i thought Graham was okay. I liked his stance that as a player he doesn't give a shit unless it's performance enhancing. And that was in the face of the hosts badgering him to give the soundbite they wanted.
For some reason it grates on me when they keep using "the game" and "our game" as this huge, all encompassing descriptor. I don't really know why, but it shits me for some reason. You are not trying to protect "the game" you are trying to protect the NRL and all the money it generates for all of you.
If it wasn't for coke, and the NRL's ludicrous player trade rules, you piston wristed gibbons might actually have to work for a living, and find a genuine story.
-
@mariner4life It was the underlying issues stuff that he kept going on about that annoyed me. That's bollocks. Young men out partying take drugs ... there doesn't have to be something underlying to it.
Yeah the our game bullshit is just that. Those Fox shows (which I often find a good watch) don't give a shit about the sport, they only give a shit about NRL and origin.
-
Warriors sign Gold Coast forward Leivaha Pulu. Manu Vatuvei is exploring other options and looks likely to leave the club at the end of the season.
-
Cowboys with a rare win in Sydney without JT, easily taking care of the Bulldogs.
Meanwhile, Ben Barba looks like getting sacked by Toulon. Greenburgh throwing up roadblocks for an immediate NRL return, which i guess means the Roosters can't afford him...
-
Looks like Mannering is out with injury- Matulino in at lock. Manu might be back as well in favour of Maumalo.
-
-
A shocking 2nd half. No respect for the ball and some matador defence to go with it.
-
The Warriors (like the Kiwis) lose the tackle contest and have slow play the balls, have runners consistently hitting the ball behind the advantage line, and have the worst kicking game in the competition. Until they get those basics right they will always stuggle even when they have incrediblely talented players. How do you look lose a game when you are 22 points up? Worst of all they were gone after 60 minutes. For a professional sports team they were terrible. The worst performance ever.
